The Innocents' work is process-oriented, collaborative,
improvisational and committed. Their dance research incorporates
elements of Yoga, Feldenkrais, and the work of Deborah Hay. "...solid
technical facility, a postmodern sensibility, a fondness for minimalist
music and a strong sense of the theatrical...hypnotic" -- The
Boston Globe (Additional Performance at the Spareroom 2416 W. North
Ave., on July 6th at 8pm, Donation)
Soloist Sarah Brumgart: Undercurrent
July 5, 2003; Saturday at 8:00 p.m.

Soloist Sarah Brumgart performs "Undercurrent,"
a structured improvisational dance. A yoga practitioner and acappella
dancer since 1974, she has traveled the world as a champion gymnast
and post-modern dancer. The Washington Post described her work as
"... both virtuosic and heroic, an almost encyclopedic marathon
of movement possibilities" and Yoga Journal as "...a meditation
in motion, with constant attention to every detailed movement. The
result is powerful to watch." The New York Times states "...
she moves as if the dance were flowing through her." Born and
raised in Chicago, Brumgart has lived in New York City and is currently
based in Austin, TX.

The Sphinx asked: "What walks on 4 legs in the
morning, 2 legs in the afternoon, and 3 legs in the evening?"
Up and coming Chicago choreographers Suzanne Dado and Adriana Durant
have answered the riddle choreographically. Dado's dances portray
time slowing down, speeding up, stopping altogether, pushing and
pulling, and sometimes leaving us in suspended animation. Durant
illustrates time spent in development; reconsidering choices made,
overcoming obstacles, and being together. |
